Description

The co-Yoneda lemma for a covariant Functor f states that Coyoneda f is naturally isomorphic to f.

Synopsis

Documentation

data Coyoneda f a whereSource

A covariant Functor suitable for Yoneda reduction

Constructors

Coyoneda :: (b -> a) -> f b -> Coyoneda f a 

liftCoyoneda :: f a -> Coyoneda f aSource

Yoneda expansion

 liftCoyoneda . lowerCoyonedaid
 lowerCoyoneda . liftCoyonedaid
 lowerCoyoneda (liftCoyoneda fa) = -- by definition
 lowerCoyoneda (Coyoneda id fa)  = -- by definition
 fmap id fa                      = -- functor law
 fa
 lift = liftCoyoneda

lowerCoyoneda :: Functor f => Coyoneda f a -> f aSource

Yoneda reduction lets us walk under the existential and apply fmap.

Mnemonically, "Yoneda reduction" sounds like and works a bit like β-reduction.

You can view Coyoneda as just the arguments to fmap tupled up.

 lower = lowerM = lowerCoyoneda

lowerM :: Monad f => Coyoneda f a -> f aSource

Yoneda reduction given a Monad lets us walk under the existential and apply liftM.

You can view Coyoneda as just the arguments to liftM tupled up.

 lower = lowerM = lowerCoyoneda

as a Left Kan extension

coyonedaToLan :: Coyoneda f a -> Lan Identity f aSource

Coyoneda f is the left Kan extension of f along the Identity functor.

 coyonedaToLan . lanToCoyonedaid
 lanToCoyoneda . coyonedaToLanid

as a Left Kan lift

coyonedaToLift :: Coyoneda f a -> Lift Identity f aSource

Coyoneda f is the left Kan lift of f along the Identity functor.
